Trial summary

Purpose To investigate the ability of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to detect metastases not detected by conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy) in patients diagnosed with stage II/III and locoregional recurrent breast cancer (BC) which can affect the choice of treatment.

About this study

Official title: Improving Breast Cancer Staging With 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging (The IMBRECAS PET Study)

Purpose To investigate the ability of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to detect metastases not detected by conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy) in patients diagnosed with stage II/III and locoregional recurrent breast cancer (BC) which can affect the choice of treatment.

Hypothesis The hypothesis is that 18F-FDG PET/CT can provide information about disease stage beyond the currently used conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy) in patients diagnosed with stage II/III or locoregional recurrent BC.

Objectives

Primary:

To evaluate if a 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in the initial work up of patients diagnosed with stage II/III or locoregional recurrent BC will lead to change in staging and/or treatment.

Secondary:

  • Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in the patients with upstaging based on findings on 18F-FDG PET/CT scan compared with the patients with unchanged stage of disease following 18F-FDG PET/CT.
  • Obtain size of the primary BC from CT/MRI scan and evaluate if these metrics are correlated to outcome.
  • Obtain PET parameters from the primary BC: maximum, mean, and peak standardized uptake value (SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak), metabolic tumour volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), total MTV and total TLG and evaluate if these metrics are correlated with outcome.
  • Obtain CT and PET texture parameters from the primary BC and evaluate if these metrics are correlated with outcome.
  • Blood and tumor samples for molecular characterisation:

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 18F-FDG PET/CTOther

    Included breast cancer patients will undergo a 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in addition to conventional imaging with CT and bone scintigraphy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-FDG PET/CT in people with Breast Cancer Female and Breast Cancer Recurrent, run by Vestre Viken Hospital Trust at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Harald Grut, MD, PHD (004797108503, harald.grut@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in staging and/or management due to added 18F-FDG PET/CT scan (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2024.
